Kitchen extract cleaning in North Sheen
Any kitchen we clean in North Sheen gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Typical jobs include fat running down the canopy edge and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, across extract fans, canopies and hoods and discharge points. Most calls from North Sheen come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in North Sheen, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
FAQs for North Sheen
How do you handle parking and loading in North Sheen?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in North Sheen during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 29 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of North Sheen. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Grease, kitchens and North Sheen
Food Standards Agency records include about 72 pubs, bars and clubs and about 13 hotels and guest houses in and around North Sheen, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. North Sheen is covered by London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
School kitchens, at schools like Kew Riverside Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near The Barn Church, or anywhere in North Sheen, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What we’re called out for in North Sheen
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to North Sheen is Barnes Hospital, about 1.1 miles south-east.

Managing agents and facilities teams in North Sheen
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. For a site in North Sheen, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in North Sheen is normally out of hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
